What is the most inexcusable love song of all time?

[Beware the Beast Man]

I'll have to go with "Love Hurts," the Nazareth version in particular.

[nini]

1. You're having my baby

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[Deep13]

3. bingo!

[Rowdyboy]

4. Hands down, "You're having my baby" has to be the worst.....

[rsdsharp]

14. LOL

Years ago I was in radio when that song was popular. The owner of the station I worked at was the father of six, and a born again Catholic. (I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but so was he -- without the oxy).

He loved that song. Everytime it aired he'd wax poetic about what a wonderful sentiment it expressed, and how there was nothing greater in life than getting married and having a family (everybody else was single). Finally one guy had had enough. He looked him in the eye after he spouted all the famiy value stuff, and said "Jim, you DO know they're not married, don't you?" Never heard another word about the song.

[jswordy]

16. Yeah. But "Love Will Keep Us Together" by Captain & Tenille a close 2nd!

[undeterred]

22. That was the first song I thought of too!

[Baaad Puppet]

42. Can't leave out

"Lovin' You" (is easy cuz you're beautiful) by Minnie Ripperton. That high-pitched squeak drove me to drink!

[StopTheMorans]

2. U2-the sweetest thing

fucking gross :puke:

[DelawareValleyDem]

5. Anything by Air Supply

[unsavedtrash]

12. great minds think alike

:hi:

[Lavender Brown]

6. The Celine Dion death song from Titanic

[aeolian]

31. Oh, god, that song makes me want to hang myself with my own intestines

:puke:

[proud2BlibKansan]

7. Feelings

[terrya]

8. "Silly Love Songs" by Paul McCartney is pretty fucking inexcusible.

It's a load of pure crapola. During Paul McCartney's "pure crapola" years...which haven't seemed to end yet.

[gizmonic]

34. I can hear "Silly Love Songs" right now

I'm in my office and the guys in my plant have their tunes cranked up.

Its. playing. now. Ugh!

Get the brain bleach.

[mac56]

44. No. It's "My Love".

Only my love has the other key to me.

[Trigger Hippie]

9. I want to know what love is

Foreigner

:scared:

[hippiechick]

10. "I will always love you" - Dolly Parton OR Whitney Houston

:puke: nasty nasty nasty horrible song.

[unsavedtrash]

11. anything by Air Supply

:puke:

[Soopercali]

13. "Sometimes When We Touch"

"The honesty's too much..."

[yvr girl]

15. Dan Hill is the sappiest man in music

[Lavender Brown]

17. But the Geico commercial where the Gecko dances to it is so cute

:)

[progmom]

18. Love The One You're With

I hate that song.

[Blue-Jay]

19. You should hear the cover that the Neville Bros do live.

Aside from the lyrical content, it kicks ass. It's on Live From Planet Earth, which everyone should have in their collection.

[GalleryGod]

38. When you see Stills perform it from backstage-it changes one's perspective

Each time I hear it- I recall that night in Philly in 1973.:hippie:

[donsu]

20. the one Kmart is using to sell barbeque cookers

when the singer hits the high la la every head snaps toward the TV to see what the hell the sound is

way back when this love song was popular and played constantly, I hated it - all those high pitched la la las trailing down the scale.

[Debbi801]

21. Lonely Night by Captain and Tenille

Lonely Night, I cry myself to sleep
Tell me, what am I gonna do
'Cause it's always been you to dry my tears
It's always been you to wash away my fears
It's always been you each night and day
Now what can I say when love slips away?

Lonely night, I'm walking the floor
Tell me, what am I gonna do
Without your precious love, your tender touch
Hey, Little Girl, I miss you so much
Wish we could turn back the hands of time
To the day when you were mine

You used to call me Angel Face
Used to call me Angel Face
You used to help me through the night
Make me feel all right
Now all I have is teardrops through a lonely night

I can't get ya out of my mind
I can't get ya out of my mind
I can't get ya out of my mind
I can't get ya out of my mind

I promise you I'll change my ways
I promise you love's here to stay
Hey, Little Girl, depend on me
I'll be yours for eternity

[Heidi]

23. "Feeee-lings . . .

nothing more than feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-lings . . ." :puke:

[Taverner]

25. Second that

I love 70's pop but that tune is evil earworm earache material.

[Heidi]

27. Thanks for making me laugh (re: "evil earworm earache") . . .

The only word for that song is "smarmy." :rofl:

[dolo amber]

24. I'm gonna have to say "You Light Up My Life" is THE worst

She's singing to Jesus ffs... which I find disturbing in the extreme. x(

[Magrittes Pipe]

26. But what about....

"Doin' It All for My Baby?"

[gmoney]

28. Have you heard Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris sing it?

Exceptional, yes. Inexcusable, no. Believe it was written by Felice & Boudleaux Bryant, who wrote a lot of the Everly Brothers best songs, as well as loads more.

The Nazareth version is pretty damn strident, I'll agree...

[Zuni]

29. That one from Top Gun

:puke:

[kwassa]

30. Afternoon Delight

Skyyyyyyrockets in flight!

[Hugin]

37. That was the first 45 I ever bought!

LOL!

[kwassa]

32. Honey, by Bobby Goldsboro

[Burma Jones]

33. He Hit Me and it Felt Like A Kiss

Now THAT's Unexcusable.......



He hit me and it felt like a kiss
He hit me but it didn't hurt me
He couldn't stand to hear me say
That I'd been with someone new
And when I told him I had been untrue
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
He hit me and I knew he loved me
Cause if he didn't care for me
I could have never made him mad
He hit me and I was glad
Baby won't you stay...
He hit me and it felt like a kiss
He hit me and I knew I loved him
Cause when he took me in his arms
With all the tenderness there is
He hit me and he made me feel
Baby won't you stay...

[Phentex]

35. Muskrat Love....did we need to know about that?

[kanrok]

36. Sugar-Sugar by the Archies

makes me want to vomit.

[WeRQ4U]

39. Young Girl (Get out of my Mind) - Gary Pucket

Young Girl Get out of my mind
My love for you is way out of line
You better RUN girl....
YOu're much too young girl.


Now how fuckin' sick is that. My mother LOVES this song. And ironically enough, I heard him sing it live IN DISNEYWORLD of all places. I laughed the entire performance.

[CBHagman]

40. I hate "Hard to Say I'm Sorry."

"If You Leave Me Now" is also one of my least favorites. Notice a theme?

And I will flee the CVS if "Lady" by Kenny Rogers comes on. :puke:

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

41. Ruben Studdard - Sorry 2004

What. The. Fuck?

[I Have A Dream]

43. "Muskrat Love" by the Captain & Tennille (Ugh!)

(Didn't see it mentioned above until after I posted this.)

[JimmyJazz]

45. Lover's Rock - the Clash...

:wtf: :crazy: What the hell is Joe saying in that song....it can't be good :D
